I'm not trying to be super picky here but, Don't Look Down was written by Iggy Pop and James Williamson. Don't Look Down came out on New Values. There is no mention of song writing credit to David Bowie on New Values. China Girl and Tonight are co-written by both Iggy Pop and David Bowie. Neighborhood Threat was written by Bowie and Gardiner. Don't Look Down is my favorite song on the album, and is on the Top 3 songs from Iggy's "solo" stuff for me.
Wow twinsinger, that is soooo cool. This is the album that brought Iggy into the mainstream weather he wanted it or not. I'll think of you everytime I hear this now.
This is a beautiful song. I've just started playing it on acoustic, and the chords are as glorious as those on Iggy and James' "Gimme Danger." Epic chord changes.
I think he recorded Iggy's songs to help him out - Iggy had part song-writing credit on those tunes, I guess, so I figure every time Bowie sold one of these albums, Iggy got a little check in the mail? Cause at that point, it didn't look like Iggy would ever pull himself together.
I have always loved the backing vocals on this song - they make the song for me. Lovely to be able to say thank you through Youtube for the pleasure you have given me!
Wow so cool to hear this again, I remember how much fun my twin sister Anna and I had singing on that album. We just laid down our tracks but never got to meet Iggy. It was at Paramount recording studios in Hollywood, what a great experience, loved it, Mary.
Mary, I really want to thank you and your sister. I've been listening to this tune, this album continuously since the mid-80s, soundtrack of my life, and your vocals have always been a major part of why I so love this music! Thank you!
My twin sister and I did the backup vocals for Iggy On "Don't look Down And Angel...it was so much fun and a blast, It was the first time iggy used back ground vocals on his albums. Anna

I love David Bowie but why did he have to re-record so many of the Iggy Pop tracks?
If I was Iggy I would feel a bit hurt.

@skellaway bowie re-recorded iggy songs especially china girl because iggy was near bankrupcy in the mid 80s.
